How Long Do the Results of Sculptra Last?

I read that it varies from one year to two (http://thebeautifulsecret.com/post/3486540420/how-long-does-sculptra-last-does-it-hurt). What determines the life span of it?

A: how long does sculptra last?

Sculptra lasts long time.

Specifically, it can last for up to two years and if it is enhanced at the one year mark, probably longer.
Some of the duration depends on how much product is put in, some depends on how much collagen the person makes and some depends on how many sessions are undertaken.

Since Sculptra works by creating new collagen, the collagen created tends to be very durable.

Does Sculptra Tend to Sink Down Towards the Bottom of the Face and HA Filler Stays Put?

Does Sculptra Tend to Sink Down Towards the Bottom of the Face and HA Filler Stays Put? 

A: Does sculptra sink down?

No, Sculptra is a liquid that will have some effect based on gravity but this is minimal and the particles injected along with the water will tend to stay where they are put. 

Since you would massage the Sculptra following injections, you will move it around to keep it evenly distributed. Sculptra is not going to drop and in general does a great job of adding volume to the areas where it is injected.

Other products including Juvederm are soft gels that stay where they are injected. In some areas, muscles may move the product a little. For instance, when you inject around the mouth, there are muscles that can move the product and in some patients that are very expressive, it can move a little because their face moves so much.

In the cases where the product moves, the results are usually not visible but if they are, there are ways to correct them.

Can ArteFill or Sculptra be used to Fill in Irregularities in the Neck After Liposuction?

Can Artfill or Sculptra be used successfully in filling in indentations from over zealous liposuction in the neck region? And if so what are your thoughts about this technique? I am interested in more precision filling then permanent fat grafting that could produce irregularities. Any advice would help!

A: Certainly!

I'd have to see you in order to answer your question specifically, but any number of fillers can be used to help with your problem.  Please make sure to see an experienced and qualified physician as this is considered an advanced use of fillers.
